The Wooden Blade, or Scream

Start Dramatic Poem.

The hunter came home
And he said to everyone
I found it
What?
The Beast

The village got excited
There was going to be a
Slaying

The Head of the village
He called everyone
To gather
And watch

This
He Said
Is the Beast

It has done wrong
It has injured
It has caused harm

This
He Said
Is the Beast

So, he said
It must be punished
We must slay it!

Everyone was
Quiet.

The butcher came on
Out

He drew his blade
Made of 
Wood

He stepped back
He made sure the 
Beast was 
Secure

He raised his 
Sword
He ran
And he swung.

The Beast
He did not Roar.
But you could see its
Pain.

End Dramatic Poem.

If you all do not understand, this poem is about a public caning we were forced to witness in school. Scary.

Anyway, as some of you may know, I'm not coming home this week. And it's okay. I am okay with it.

It's just my hallmaster, that's all.
